At Georgia Notary Services, we want to ensure your document signing process is quick, compliant, and stress-free. Preparing ahead of time ensures we can complete your notarization correctly on the first visit.
Please follow these guidelines to prepare for your appointment:
- Do Not Sign in Advance: In most cases, you must sign your documents in the presence of the notary. Please wait until the notary confirms your identity and instructs you to sign.
- Bring Valid Identification: Every signer must present a current, government-issued photo ID. Acceptable forms typically include a driver’s license, passport, or state-issued identification card.
- Ensure Documents are Complete: Please have your documents fully prepared and reviewed by your attorney or the receiving party before we arrive. We do not provide legal drafting or document interpretation services.
- Confirm Witness Requirements: Some documents (such as certain wills or deeds) may require additional witnesses in addition to the notary. If your document requires witnesses, please confirm these requirements ahead of time and have those individuals present at the appointment.
- Ensure Signer Capacity: The signer must be alert, willing, and able to understand the nature of the documents being signed during the appointment.
- Have All Parties Present: If multiple people are required to sign the same document, please ensure all parties are available at the scheduled time to avoid the need for multiple visits.
